These two cars competed in the HSCC/HRSR Julius Thurgood Historic Racing Saloons race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2003.
On the left is the 1965 Ford Lotus Cortina of Kerry Michael, and on the right the 1964 model of Chris Sanders, though the car's more commonly known as just a Lotus Cortina. Both cars have the 1,596cc version of the Ford Kent engine that was redesigned for Colin Chapman as a twin-cam unit by Harry Mundy. Chris Sanders' car was offered for auction in 2017 by Silverstone Auctions and always raced with the 'LUV 12' number plates, although it was never registered as such (it's really 256 TYC). Presumably the owner thought 'love one too' sounded more appealing.
